from giant catapults (trebuchet, yes), which they’ve managed to build to the point where they can calibrate the device based on “payload” weight, but they can’t think to have said “payload” sign a release form?
if the guy let himself be thrown by a damned trebuchet, i’d say it’s his own damned fault he’s dead.
maybe the bobbies were just bored.
i love catapults. i really, really do. i’d love to have one of my own. i might even consider launching a cat, but NEVER, EVER a human being. That’s just silly. the G-Forces imparted must be insane! Centrifugal G-Forces are some harsh things!
well now.
hello?

are a direct result of m@’s insistance on me fixing some issues involving BR tags in message. you can now use either BR tags or linebreaks. the system will know. the system will always know.
the system will also assume that you are gay if your comments contain certain keywords. your comments will appear pink in that case.
